This fun one is for week 2 of my book. It was so cold in Jan that we stayed holed away a lot of the time creating. I am loving that Izzy and Cece are adding so much art to the scrapbook. I loved this sentiment ending with everything happens for a reason. I must say the weather this year has been crazy cold, but I love the time with the girls creating. We all decided that we needed some fun and color in the middle of that cold snap, so this was part of the results. I will take pics of Izzy and Cece's creations.

LOVING this new sentiment set from PTI. Super fun to bust this cutie out. This is for a few challenges, the MIM challenge this week and the ROYGBIV challenge. It is had to see the underlying stamp set, which is from background basics retro. I discovered it works best with background steps that left more of an impression.

I am excited to have the first week slot done. Izzy has to journal one more spot for me then I will be done with this week. I am so tahnkful for PTI's motivation. I have had the project life for years and never touched it until now. This is for the PTI MIM challenge.

This is one of my favs of the day. We sold cookies at church for valentines day and we ended up selling 55 cookie trays! I had to make an additional 20, so you are going to see a whole set of all of the PTI anniversary sketches with the color combo challenge of fine linen, scarlet jewel, red, kraft and chocolate. I haven't used tin types in forever and it felt good to bust that cutie out. I am going to find more reasons to use that cutie.

This is all of the girls and some of our birthday cards for the PTI birthday challenge (Izzy's is there, but my hubby missed it in the shot). We spent 6 hours up in the stamping room today crafting away. (Okay I did and the girls came in and out LOL). This one was inspired by one of Heather's cards that has stayed with me from a few years ago. I looked it up today and had a lot of fun making it my own. I am also entering this in the PTI color/sketch challenge.

The felt didn't photograph well, the dark hear it actually scarlet jewel.

This is a special card for me and it will be the one that I send it with a fun note. My first published card had these elements. I am so thankful for PTI for their creativity and ingenuity. It gets my creative juices going and I am so very grateful! Happy Birthday PTI!

This is for the PTI anniversary sketches with the color combo challenge of fine linen, scarlet jewel, red, kraft and chocolate. I am bummed that the scarlet jewel felt is looking the same as the chocolate in the picture. In real like you can totally see the difference and it looks good LOL!

In full disclosure, Izzy has been on a major color kick and loves cats, so this was her perfect stamp set for this challenge LOL! She did rock out the pink felt heart from PTI. I have her pic, but I need to put it in a different post for the linking purpose. This is for the birthday card for PTI challenge.

Does your family have vision statements or mission statements? We do, but this is the first time I am scrapping about it. We will see if this all comes to fruition :) This is for one of the anniversary challenges, the PTI sketch/color challenge.

Now that I have started this process, I am so very grateful for PTI and the diversity of these sheets that they are offering. After completing this cover and the next two pages (at least they are mapped out LOL). I am craving diversity already! Combo pack here I come :)

I don't think I have ever made an atc card before and I certainly have used my project life kit until today LOL! Thank you PTI for getting me going. I am so excited about the possibilities. Can't wait.

So I will be showing each of the 4 atc cards for the front of my scrapbook. Here is card one

Have you seen the PTI anniversary timed challenge? It was fun to pick 7 things and complete the card in 17 minutes. I am super tired tonight or I would have done a few more LOL!
I used a stamp set, aqua mist paper, staz on ink, snow white ink, water color paper, ink tense pencils and water color brush.
